في موسم الحج، وللسنة الثانية على التوالي، تتجلّى الإحاطة الإعلامية لحج 1446هـ في «ملتقى إعلام الحج» كأحد أبرز الملامح المؤسسية التي تعكس عمق التجربة السعودية في إدارة أعظم وأكبر التجمعات البشرية. فهي ليست مجرد تصريح صحفي، بل نافذة رسمية تطل منها المملكة على العالم لتؤكد التزامها بالشفافية، وجاهزيتها العالية، وحرصها على تمكين الإعلام من أداء رسالته بمهنية واحترافية.
وقد حظيتُ هذا الموسم بشرف المشاركة في التغطيات الإعلامية لملتقى إعلام الحج وحضور الإحاطة الإعلامية، وكنت أتأمل التجربة كعادتي مع كل عمل يستوقفني. كل شيء كان يسير بانتظام، واحتراف، وانسجام؛ من منسوبي ومنسوبات وزارة الإعلام، والمختصين من الجهات المشاركة، إلى التقنية التفاعلية التي أُديرت بابتكار لخدمة ضيوف الرحمن، وتسخيرها لتيسير أداء الفريضة، وهو ما تنشده رؤية المملكة ضمن مستهدفاتها في مختلف المجالات.
في الواقع، فإن وجود «الإحاطة الإعلامية» واختيار توقيتها في موسم الحج لهما دلالات عميقة؛ إذ تكمن أهميتها في توحيد الرسائل الإعلامية، والحد من انتشار الشائعات، ونقل الصورة الحقيقية لجهود الدولة، خاصة حين تستضيف الجهات ذات الدور الجوهري في الحج، كما حدث هذا الموسم باستضافة الجهات الأمنية والصحية.
كذلك، تعدّ «الإحاطة الإعلامية» قناة اتصال مباشرة مع الإعلاميين والجمهور، تُظهر تطورات العمل، وتُجيب عن تساؤلاتهم، وتُسهم في إدارة حجم الحدث وقدسيته وارتباطه بملايين المسلمين حول العالم. وهي أداة إستراتيجية في يد الجهات الرسمية لنقل الحقائق بشفافية واحترافية.
من المهم أيضًا أن تتطور الإحاطة الإعلامية لتصبح منصة دائمة لكل حدث وطني، توضّح الإجراءات، وتتابع الخطط، وتقدم المستجدات، وتبني خطابًا موحدًا، وتزوّد الإعلاميين بالمعلومة الدقيقة، بما يعكس صورة المملكة الإيجابية وجهودها الإنسانية والتنظيمية.
ختامًا.. في موسم الحج، لا تُدار الحشود فقط، بل تُدار الثقة، والإحاطة الإعلامية ليست مجرد نقل خبر، بل صوت الوطن الشفاف إلى العالم.

In the Hajj season, for the second consecutive year, the media briefing for Hajj 1446 AH is manifested in the "Hajj Media Forum" as one of the most prominent institutional features that reflect the depth of the Saudi experience in managing the greatest and largest human gatherings. It is not just a press statement, but an official window through which the Kingdom looks out to the world to affirm its commitment to transparency, high readiness, and its keenness to empower the media to perform its message with professionalism and expertise.
I had the honor this season to participate in the media coverage of the Hajj Media Forum and attend the media briefing, and I found myself reflecting on the experience as I usually do with any work that captures my attention. Everything was proceeding with order, professionalism, and harmony; from the staff of the Ministry of Media and the specialists from the participating agencies, to the interactive technology that was innovatively managed to serve the guests of the Most Merciful, facilitating the performance of the pilgrimage, which is what the Kingdom's Vision aims for within its targets in various fields.
In fact, the existence of the "media briefing" and the timing of its selection during the Hajj season have profound implications; its importance lies in unifying media messages, limiting the spread of rumors, and conveying the true picture of the state's efforts, especially when hosting the entities with a crucial role in Hajj, as was the case this season with the participation of security and health authorities.
Moreover, the "media briefing" serves as a direct communication channel with media professionals and the public, showcasing developments in the work, answering their questions, and contributing to managing the scale of the event and its sanctity, as well as its connection to millions of Muslims around the world. It is a strategic tool in the hands of official entities to convey facts with transparency and professionalism.
It is also important for the media briefing to evolve into a permanent platform for every national event, clarifying procedures, following up on plans, providing updates, building a unified discourse, and supplying journalists with accurate information, reflecting the positive image of the Kingdom and its humanitarian and organizational efforts.
In conclusion, during the Hajj season, it is not just the crowds that are managed, but also the trust, and the media briefing is not merely the transmission of news, but the transparent voice of the nation to the world.
